Adam Newman Group Buildings Lead
ADL
Joining WGA in 2023, Adam brings with him over 20 years of engineering and management expertise, honed across Australia and the UK. Before stepping into his current role, Adam served as a director at a Tier 1 multinational consultancy, where he spearheaded the growth and management of the South Australia -Structural and Civil teams.
With a deep passion for standout architecture and a sharp commercial mindset, Adam excels in the early stages of a project. It’s here where his knack for balancing functional outcomes with construction realities shines, ensuring designs not only look great but work seamlessly in practice. His portfolio is as diverse as it is impressive, spanning health, education, commercial, retail, sports, and civic buildings. But what Adam loves most? Watching those designs come to life and witnessing the impact they have on the communities that use them.
Beyond the projects, Adam is all about building a team culture where people feel empowered, engaged, and truly heard—whether in the office or out in the field. He’s a Chartered Professional Engineer, a Member of Engineers Australia, and a dedicated mentor who’s passionate about helping the next generation of engineers find their stride.
